Subject: Re: Fwd: Potential out-of-bounds in ftrace_regex_release

I got one more report of a similar bug:

AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address ffff8800205f0e40
Write of size 1 by thread T14005:
 [<ffffffff811e2542>] ftrace_event_write+0xe2/0x130

The buggy address ffff8800205f0e40 is located 0 bytes to the right
 of 128-byte region [ffff8800205f0dc0, ffff8800205f0e40)

Memory state around the buggy address:
 ffff8800205f0900: rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr
 ffff8800205f0a00: rrrrrrrr ........ ........ rrrrrrrr
 ffff8800205f0b00: rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr
 ffff8800205f0c00: ........ .......5 rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr
 ffff8800205f0d00: rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr ........
>ffff8800205f0e00: ........ rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr
                            ^
 ffff8800205f0f00: rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr
 ffff8800205f1000: ........ ........ ........ ........
 ffff8800205f1100: ........ ........ ........ ........
 ffff8800205f1200: ........ ........ ........ ........
 ffff8800205f1300: ........ ........ ........ ........
Legend:
 f - 8 freed bytes
 r - 8 redzone bytes
 . - 8 allocated bytes
 x=1..7 - x allocated bytes + (8-x) redzone bytes

This time it was caused by 'parser.buffer[parser.idx] = 0;' in
'ftrace_event_write()', which calls 'trace_get_user()' right before
the bad assignment.

So I still think that the bug is in 'trage_get_user()':
Checking that 'parser->idx < parser->size - 1' is not performed in 'if
(isspace(ch))' section, so 'parser->idx' becomes equal to
'parser->size' after 'parser->buffer[parser->idx++] = ch;'.
(However in 'while (cnt && !isspace(ch))' loop checking is performed.)
